Use-after-free vulnerability in the WebAudio implementation in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger an audio-rendering thread in which AudioNode data is improperly maintained.

chromium was updated to version 40.0.2214.111 to fix 31 vulnerabilities.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201502-13 (Chromium: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Chromium. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service condition,       gain privileges via a filesystem: URI, or have other unspecified impact.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:0093 advisory.

    Chromium is an open-source web browser, powered by WebKit (Blink).

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web     page containing malicious content could cause Chromium to crash or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     Chromium. (CVE-2014-7923, CVE-2014-7924, CVE-2014-7925, CVE-2014-7926,     CVE-2014-7927, CVE-2014-7928, CVE-2014-7929, CVE-2014-7930, CVE-2014-7931,     CVE-2014-7932, CVE-2014-7933, CVE-2014-7934, CVE-2014-7935, CVE-2014-7936,     CVE-2014-7937, CVE-2014-7938, CVE-2014-7939, CVE-2014-7940, CVE-2014-7941,     CVE-2014-7942, CVE-2014-7943, CVE-2014-7944, CVE-2014-7945, CVE-2014-7946,     CVE-2014-7947, CVE-2014-7948)

    All Chromium users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain     Chromium version 40.0.2214.91, which corrects these issues. After     installing the update, Chromium must be restarted for the changes to take     effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
